What is a PFI?

A Private Finance Initiative, or a PFI, is a way of securing government money, usually for larger projects. PFI has been used by councils for nearly ten years to provide street lighting, neighbourhood centres, schools and hospitals. The process involves the council commissioning a partnership of private sector companies and organisations to provide services for a fixed term.
